ONE MILLION YEARS B.C.



This plays like an episode of Star Trek without any Starfleet crew members.

Ray Harryhausen did the special effects, which for 1966 were outstanding.
Dinosaurs, giant lizards & spiders and an exploding volcano "climax" are the thrills, aside from a scantily clad Raquel Welch.
Pre-historic man surely wasn't so sexy...This is primarily a visual movie, with hardly any dialogue- only one word utterances.
I'm not sure I'd watch this one again- it holds little interest for me.
I was curious to see it only because Kubrick used a scene from it in A Clockwork Orange; the shots where falling rocks and stones rain down on the cavemen during the eruption.
No clue why Stanley chose to use it, other than it was in the Warner vault.
There's a scene with man-apes in a cave that may have been inspiration for 2001.
I can't say I recommend it, but I also won't say don't see it. Movies are meant to be watched!
